Eric,
The idea behind a 14ft version would be not only quick and easy but cheap. I may even end up building a 14ft for myself.
If you are really interested we can talk off line about your preferences for such a craft.
My staple gun was playing up today so only glued the gunwales and stringer for two hull sides. Took one hour each when it should have been half that.
I don't get any more time until Thursday. I think I'll do the other two sides then and then go watch the A class worlds.

I got my brother's wedding Friday, sailing saturday and bike riding sunday and back at work Monday. Bugger- need more days in the week.
Anyhow I'll try to fit in a bit here and there and may even take some more pics over the next week.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
